O'Connell's existence is the legacy of the consolidation of Ursuline Academy (founded in 1847 for girls), Dominican School (founded in 1882 for girls), and Kirwin High School (founded in 1927 for boys.). Consolidated in 1968, O'Connell has been educating the hearts, minds, and spirits of young Catholic as well as other faiths in Galveston, Brazoria, and Southern Harris counties.

Today, O'Connell, a school with heart, continues its tradition of offering each student a rigorous academic program. O'Connell offers college prep courses, including college essay writing, researching and applying for grants/scholarships, resume building, and SAT/ACT Prep courses. Students earn college hours through Advanced Placement courses and Dual Credit classes with Galveston Community College.

O'Connell seniors participate in internships with businesses throughout the City of Galveston. In addition, juniors and seniors job shadow highly successful professionals specifically selected for each student's area of interest. Upperclassmen apply to the top universities and colleges throughout the United States. For each of the last four years, O'Connell graduates have received more than $1 million in collegiate scholarships.
